NEWS
FROM
St.
John Spice has expanded! Three years after moving into our new location in the
St.
John Spice Too is in the second floor
St. John Spice has a new webcam. We have replaced the camera on our building with a newer model for a clearer picture of the daily activity at the Cruz Bay Ferry Dock downstairs.A friend of mine arrived this week on an afternoon ferry and I saved the web cam shot and emailed it to her. Her comment was this: “From that angle I don't look fat or old. So the next time someone wants to take my picture I'll tell them to go up two stories and 100 feet away.”

Some of you may have heard
the song “Nowhere to Go, Nowhere to Be” on Kenny Chesney’s new album Lucky Old
Sun. In this song, Kenny writes about an afternoon spent at Island Blues with
Trinidad Charlie, who is the maker of one of our best-selling lines of hot
sauces. In October we mentioned this song to Charlie and he hadn’t heard
anything about it. He said he thought some people were acting “kind of funny”
and he wondered why his tee shirt guy suggested that he get “lots” of tee
shirts, but he didn’t know why. So we played the song for him while he was in
the store. We took out our camera as he listened for the first time and the
results were quite funny. It’s just a
few seconds, but it’s funny.

All of Trinidad Charlie’s
hot sauces are available for sale at St. John Spice. See our hot sauce page
for more information.

At this time of the year
there are many signals that the slow months of our year have passed and that
“Season” is approaching. One of the things we miss during the Summer and Fall
months is the weekly visit of the luxury cruise ship Windspirit from the
Windstar line. This ship anchors off Gallows Point near
No one knows exactly what

faces in the months to come.
